Wonder Woman Isn't Just Fast And Strong. She's Also A Physics Genius.

After three big budget films featuring Gal Gadot’s Amazonian portrayal, the world is familiar with the awesome power and might of Princess Diana of Themyscira, better known as Wonder Woman.

She’s a powerful and agile warrior who can block bullets using only her bracers.
